Independent Woman(Story of my Life)

eA woman with strong faith, belief, and love for others is an independent woman. Because like me I always put God in the center of my life. In the early stages of my life I accepted every trial without worries. Right now I can say I survived my holocaust life. I said that because just last June 8, 2011 my mother died in complication of diabetes and also I didn't see my father since birth, that's why nobody can guide me right now except my strong faith in God with the aid of His guidance. I admit I've had mistakes and wrong decisions in my life. When I'm so down and weary and can't handle it anymore, I cry like a child who is so far away with his or her love ones. But in the end I always cheer up myself and be delighted because I know I can make it. whatever happens, I will pass all these trials in my life as an independent woman.

Human Stillbirth

Causes

The causes of a large percentage of human stillbirths remain unknown, even in cases where extensive testing and autopsy have been performed. A rarely used term to describe these is sudden antenatal death syndrome or SADS, a phrase coined by Cacciatore & Collins in 2000.

In cases where the cause is known, some possibilities of the cause of death are:

-bacterial infection

-birth defects, especially pulmonary hypoplasia

-chromosomal aberrations

-growth retardation

-intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

-maternal diabetes

-high blood pressure, including preeclampsia

-maternal consumption of recreational drugs (such as alcohol, nicotine, etc.) or pharmaceutical drugs contraindicated in pregnancy

-postdate pregnancy

-placental abruptions

-physical trauma

-radiation poisoning

-Rh disease

-umbilical cord accidents
